His True Colors? What John Boehner Just Said About Obama Will Have Republicans Furious

House Speaker John Boehner’s antics at a New York restaurant this past weekend are not dispelling any of the criticism many have about his lackluster opposition to the Obama administration.

The Ohio Republican was on hand at the Almond Restaurant in East Hampton Saturday in between campaign and fundraising events planned in the area. While there, he encountered leftist comedienne and former co-host of The View Joy Behar.

According to The New York Post, the pair struck up a conversation when Behar approached him with a request to capitulate even further to Obama’s will.

“I couldn’t resist having some fun,” she recalled. “I jumped up and told him to stop obstructing President Obama. I am sick of all this deadlock.”

Boehner’s response not only troubled concerned Republicans who saw the report later; it took Behar by surprise.
